Xplode Fight Series Starts Another Year with a Bang

September 27, 2012 08:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--San Diego’s Leading Mixed Martial Arts Production Xplode
Fight Series continues its MMA dominance in the Southern California
area after another mega card went into the books on September 22nd
in Valley Center.

XFS had 62 fighters compete in 31 matches (16 amateur and 15 pro)
without fail. XFS is becoming the benchmark of MMA across the region.
Xplode Fight Series continues to push the envelope with the goal of
having meaningful fights for the fighters, fans and sponsors.

CEO Gregg
Sharp continues to push hard to open more doors for fighters in the
region and does it in such a way that there is no mistaking what MMA is
all about. “We are here to get as many fighters meaningful competitive
fights so that they can climb the ladder to success. Many talk it but we
walk it…” states Sharp on his production. “…If you are coming to XFS you
better be ready to fight, if you want to dance and hold hands in the
cage then XFS is certainly not for you as a fighter.”

This rang true as the punches flew, blood splattered and hands were
raised. The culmination of the evening was with Strikeforce veteran Keith
Berry winning the Middleweight Title and with a fight of the night
having Leonard Smith Jr. the challenger out of Fight Ugly upsetting then
Light Heavyweight Champ and UFC Veteran Brodie
Farber, as Farber could not answer the bell in the 3rd
round.

“Ask the guys who don’t get their hands raised how real the deal is with
Xplode or better yet ask the ones that do...” states Sharp. “…you can
certainly fight in a lot of cages in California but none of them are
going to get you ready for the next level like we do!”

And with several fighters already moving up to the UFC and Strikeforce
in the last year there is no doubt that Sharp is correct. Xplode Fight
Series IS setting the tempo in California.
